Answer

Connect: Game theory

Details:

  1. Sylvia Nasar who wrote the novel “A Beautiful Mind” and a poster of the movie with the same title, connecting to John Nash.
  2. Oskar Morgenstern and John von Neumann

Oskar Morgenstern and John von Neumann founded the field of mathemetical Game theory. John Nash did extensive work on game theory.

The extra hint was Donald Rumsfeld who claims to be using game theory for his defense strategies.
